Med vsemi pomembnimi maji, ki se imajo zgoditi v petem mesecu leta, je prišel in neopaženo odšel tudi četrti maj. Ujet med delom in zmago je njega dni označeval smrt Josipa Broza - Tita. In kar je bilo letos četrtega maja še posebej zanimivo: kljub nedelji, ko mediji sami po sebi niso najbolj dejavni, smo njegovo smrt prvič kolektivno prezrli. Večina spletnih medijev in portalov, ki se hvalijo, da so dejavni štiriindvajset ur na dan, sedem dni v tednu, so o Titovi smrti molčali, nekaj drugih medijev ga je pospravilo ob konec novičarskega bloka pred šport in vreme. In zdaj se upravičeno sprašujemo, kaj naj bi pomenila takšna ignoranca do Tita? Oziroma kaj nam govori o Titu, o času in o nas. Poskusimo. Tito je kot človek, kot voditelj in kot simbol prehodil ves krog. Od obskurnosti nikogar v zgodnjem dvajsetem stoletju do ene osrednjih figur istega stoletja, od objokovanja konec osemdesetih let do vnovične obskurnosti v prvi polovici enaindvajsetega stoletja. Takšna je usoda tako diktatorjev kot herojev in v zgodovini je bila videna že ničkolikokrat. Letošnja Titova smrt v medijih je poglavje zase. Če bi pred 45 leti kdo problematiziral ali, nezamisljivo, ignoriral Titovo smrt, bi bil v Jugoslaviji postavljen pred zid; celo v tujini so bili uvodniki spoštljivi, kar je posledično pripeljalo do ikoničnega pogreba, ki je danes zasenčil tako njegove diktatorske kot tudi herojske dosežke. Zatem je Titova smrt vijugala po luknjasti cesti zgodovine. Prva leta smo poslušali sirene pet minut pred petnajsto uro, ko so te utihnile, so se začela dve desetletji dolga prerekanja o tem, ali je bil heroj ali zločinec. Medtem smo dobili izjave in zgodbe stranskih likov, kot so kuharice, zdravniki, žene in ljubice. Potem še nekaj malega o otrocih in potomstvu, dokler ni vse potihnilo. Do 4. maja 2025, ko se ga večina nekdanjih jugoslovanskih medijev ni spomnila niti z generičnim zapisom. Tisti, ki so se ga, pa so pod novičko komaj nabrali nekaj deset komentarjev, kajti, kot vemo, šele komentarji opolnomočijo spletni medij. Kar pa je zanimivo … Medtem ko smo Titovo smrt zatajili, pa imamo prav te dni veliko veselje z obletnico konca druge svetovne vojne. Vsakomur, ki ima vsaj malo uvida v dogajanje pred osemdesetimi leti, je jasno, da je o drugi svetovni vojni, sploh pa o njenem koncu na našem območju, nemogoče govoriti, ne da bi se kot ključno figuro sočasno obravnavalo Tita. Hočemo povedati, da smo Tita kot človeka vrgli na smetišče zgodovine, njegov čas, njegovo epoho, če hočete, pa smo z veseljem obdržali. Zakaj je tako, je mogoče razložiti na dva načina: ali je človek še bolj zapleten in kompleksen kot njegov čas in kot tak prezahteven za vsakdanjo medijsko reciklažo ali pa smo iz njega iztisnili vse, kar se je dalo, medtem ko obdobje še skriva nekaj soka, s katerim se lahko osveži dnevna politika. Titova simbolna smrt, ki jo doživljamo z medijsko ignoranco 45 let po dejanski smrti, pa ima še eno, recimo ji izobraževalno noto. Čeprav je pozabljen, se osrednji igralci današnje slovenske politike neposredno napajajo pri njem. Ali ideološko ali s slogom vladanja so zdajšnje slovenske politične elite še vedno vezane na Tita. Tudi tisti, ki danes besnijo proti krivicam in zablodam socialističnega ali pač komunističnega repertorija, dolgujejo svoj raison dʼêtre Josipu Brozu. Čeprav pozabljen, vpliva na naša življenja zdaj in tukaj veliko bolj, kot si želimo ali upamo priznati. In s tega stališča je zanimivo še nekaj. Številni se sprašujejo, kdaj bomo presegli slovenske politične razkole, kdaj bodo politični dejavniki, ki nas obvladujejo že trideset let, končno pozabljeni. Z letošnjo Titovo medijsko smrtjo smo dobili odgovor. Na Kučana in Janšo bomo pozabili leta 2070.
Piše: Marija Švajncer, bereta Sanja Rejc in Igor Velše. Pesniška zbirka Milana Novaka Napišite mi glasbo je pravo pravcato presenečenje. Pesnik je z izbranim besediščem, čudovitimi metaforami in posebno globino ustvaril pesmi, v katerih se izpoveduje o svojem doživljanju glasbe. Pa ne samo to, pričara nam svet zvokov v prostoru, gibanje zraka, tiho vstopanje narave v glasbo, poosebljanje glasbil in melodij ter filozofsko obarvano refleksijo. Potaplja se predvsem v zvočno razkošje klasične glasbe, v nekaterih pesmih pa si prizadeva, da bi prodrl tudi v sporočilnost glasbe sodobnosti. Tako imenuje glasbeno eksperimentiranje, atonalnost in iskanje novih možnosti notnih zapisov in drugačnih partitur. Pomisli, da obdobje neobičajnih razmerij in izkrivljenih odnosov ustvarja izkrivljene zvoke. Dovzeten in odprt je za različnost in nove zvočne podobe. Sprašuje se o ustvarjalnih postopkih skladateljev, zaustavlja se pri posameznih tonih in se predaja zvokom, ki jih zmorejo različni instrumenti. Ker je sam rahločutna pesniška osebnost, sliši zelo veliko in izostreno – vsak odtenek, prehode od tihega h glasnemu, sleherni drs in naraščanje glasbenega motiva. Milan Novak je plesalec in izvajalec performansov, zato glasbo doživlja s celim telesom, zvočna pokrajina pa v njem spodbudi tudi kopičenje misli. Izroča se ji in se ji prepusti, da mu zastavlja vprašanja, in si dovoli, da včasih samo onemi in je eno z glasbo – visoko pesmijo življenja, smrti in večnosti. Pod lestenci drhtijo prvi mogočni takti Also sprach Zarathustra zvok se razlije po telesu čutim, kako polje v vratu neustavljivo drsi vzdolž hrbtenice razsuje se v prste kot val na peščeni obali Milan Novak piše pesmi brez ločil, ohranja le veliko začetnico prvih besed v verzih, tu in tam se mu prikrade vprašaj. V njem se porodi dvom, ali je glasbo sploh mogoče ubesediti, toda pesniku se to vsekakor posreči. Njegova ustvarjalna moč je neustavljiva, polet domišljije ob vsrkavanju zvokov in zanos sta neomejena. Čudež glasbe mu uspe ujeti v prelepe in pomensko večplastne besede, tako opise kot izbiranje in poimenovanje pojmov. Literarno prepričljivo se v njegovih pesmih prepletajo svoboda, žalost, smeh, osuplost nad ubranostjo tonov in začudenost, da ples zvokov nima robov in meja. Osrečuje ga spoznanje, da se v glasbi zgodi toliko različnih zvočnih uresničitev. Potopljen je vanjo in očaran nad njenim razkošjem. Prisluškuje skrivnostim, ki se oglašajo v glasbi, občuti jih na poseben način, morda tudi z bolečino, porojeno v mogočnosti tonov ter novih in novih melodijah. Lepota v njegove oči prikliče tudi solze. Bach ostaja ob njem, Satie je subtilno presenečenje, Šostakovič se oglaša, kakor da bi bila skupaj že od nekdaj, Chopin vstopa v neobstoj in zveni, kot da bi nekdo raztrosil bisere. Glasba je tisto kar navdihne da se loči se oblikuje v oblak deblo stopalo Ko izzveni potem umre preneha povrne se in se pomeša potopi se v veličastno bit Glasbi se pesnik predaja v koncertni dvorani in cerkvi, ob radiu in s pomočjo nosilcev zvoka, prikliče si jo tudi v dogajanju v gozdu, šumenju dreves in valovanju trav. Travnik je zanj vesolje, v bučanju vetra zasluti čistost resnice. Je glasba ki je opoj Ujet si v ledeno gmoto krhkosti brezizhodnosti v ostre robove zmrznjenega obupa Prepustiš se ujetosti potem ko si rečeš nimam več kam v umik Zahoče se mu umirjene, preproste in lahkotne glasbe, toda že v naslednjem hipu bi rad nedoločljivost v neskončni majhnosti, silovitost občutkov in nemir. Note so zlepljene v zaporedje smisla, pesnik se pomika skozi naelektreno nevidnost. Pritegnile so jo strune in vse je tako, kot mora biti. Glasba ga osvobaja, brezčasna je in hkrati zavezujoča, poet se osvobodi celo samega sebe. Zazdi se mu, da ga g-mol poziva k zadnji večerji. Avtor spremne besede, slovenski pesnik in pisatelj Marjan Pungartnik, pravi, da je »umetnost glasbe« zajemala tudi poezijo, kar govori o večnem in nepretrganem sestrstvu teh dveh umetnosti. Milana Novaka vidi kot umetnika, ki izraža željo, da vsako gesto muzike poveže z gibanjem sveta, in to od neposrednih zaznav instrumentov pa vse do primerjav, metafor, metabol in metonimij. V Novakovi poeziji se odpirajo prostori, v katerih je mogoče absolutno bivanje, podobno kot v pesmih. Pogled na glasbo postaja izvir pesniškega postopka. Pungartnik zapiše: »Vračanje v izgubljeno senzibilnost je povratek k čisti vodi izvira poezije.«

How AI is Transforming Customer Communication Shep Hyken interviews Anand Janefalkar, CEO and founder of UJET. He talks about the power of AI enhancing CX and how businesses can leverage it to improve customer support and avoid churn. Top Takeaways: Customers have so many options and want to get the best out of the money they spend. Since there are many options for companies offering more or less the same services, customer support becomes the differentiator. It comes down to how easy it is to communicate with a business and how delightful the experience is. In the 80s, the White House commissioned the Technical Assistant Research Program to conduct a study on customer experience. They found out that the number one reason customers leave is rudeness or apathy. Almost 40 years later, our customer service and experience research has the same findings - the number one reason customers leave to do business elsewhere is rudeness or apathy. The evolution of customer communication has expanded beyond traditional phone and mail. Companies must embrace diverse channels like chatbots, social media, and visual communication to meet customer expectations and deliver a seamless experience. Customer service professionals and support agents now mostly consist of young professionals who are digitally acquainted. They are "obsessed" with their phones, and the internet has become a seamless extension of their day-to-day lives. Training them on a stack designed 20-30 years ago, which they have never used in their lives, then asking them to solve a problem for the customer without using their senses of visual and contextual information gathering is a recipe for disaster. The result can be rudeness that comes from frustration from the inability to solve that issue. Technology must feel intuitive. Just like smartphones became popular because they are easy to use, customer service platforms must prioritize user-friendly interfaces that make interactions effortless. They should have a human-first mindset when designing communication between customers, support agents, and AI. Organizations need to be responsible for using AI for customer interactions. Proper training, data, and empathy are crucial to ensure AI understands and responds appropriately to customers, providing a human-like experience while maintaining efficiency and accuracy. Plus, Shep and Anand discuss how AI can empower agents and increase their efficiency. Tune in! Quote: "Natural language processing and AI play a crucial role in customer communication. When communicating with customers, it needs to feel like you're explaining something just like you would explain it to a family or a friend." About: Anand Janefalkar is the Chief Executive Officer and Founder of UJET. Anand founded UJET to modernize the contact center by addressing long-standing design flaws and conventional thinking that have failed to evolve in parallel with changing human interaction landscape. Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio. Learn more about your ad choices.

Osrednja tema tokratnega dvodnevnega vrha Evropske unije je vnovič vojna v Ukrajini. Voditelji so potrdili nadaljnjo vojaško, politično in humanitarno pomoč napadeni državi, večer pa posvečajo migracijam. Slovenija naj bi predstavila predlog, po katerem bi na mejo med Hrvaško ter Bosno in Hercegovino poslali enote Evropske agencije za mejno in obalno stražo Frontex. Premier Robert Golob je dejal, da je treba pomagati zahodno-balkanskim državam, da bodo boljše pri upravljanju migracij. V oddaji tudi: - Nadaljevanje pogajanj o novem sistemu plač v javnem sektorju, čeprav zastavljeni rok ne bo ujet - Stranka SDS vložila interpelacijo zoper zdravstvenega ministra Bešiča Loredana - Ministrstvo in Mestna občina Maribor dosegla dogovor o financiranju kulturnih ustanov in programov
Na Hrvaškem javnost že več tednov zabavajo sporočila z mobilnih telefonov politikov in direktorjev državnih podjetij, ki so del preiskave o korupciji, v njih pa se omenja tudi premier Andrej Plenković. Ker so nekatera sporočila precej neprijetna ali celo obremenjujoča za vpletene, zdaj vlada razmišlja, da bi v spremembah kazenskega zakonika uvedla objavljanje informacij iz spisov tožilstva kot kaznivo dejanje. Hrvaška vlada je te dni poslala v parlament novi zakon o delu ob nedeljah, po katerem bodo trgovine lahko odprte le 16 nedelj v letu. Letos bo Hrvaško ne evrovizijskem odru predstavljala reška rock skupina Let3, z nenavadno pesmijo Mama ŠČ, ki dviguje precej prahu tako doma kot v tujini.

The Intuitive Customer - Improve Your Customer Experience To Gain Growth
My iPhone is getting bossy. It suggested widgets based on the time of day I was using it. This proactive experience is the future of experiences. Unfortunately, few organizations know how to build them. While the definition of proactive experience is somewhat fluid at the moment, perhaps the best way to describe it is to solve a problem before the customer knows they have one. This proactive experience is powered by the emerging field of Customer Science, a convergence of data, artificial intelligence (AI), and the behavioral sciences. Intaking a variety of consumer inputs, the machine will output a response intended to resolve these customers' predicted needs creating a positive engagement tool for customer service. There are benefits to customers with proactive experiences. Many customers want a proactive experience because it feels more personal, improving consumer satisfaction. It makes a person feel more important and appreciated when a system tries to recognize what they want. Organizations benefit, too. To the company, proactive experiences provide a different advantage: customer retention. If customers feel more satisfied with their experience, they are more likely to return to your site in the future. In this episode, we invited Vasili Triant, Chief Operating Officer of Ujet, to tell us more about what is possible with proactive experiences. He shares many go-to-market activities that can help organizations gain the first-mover advantage rather than we-are-getting-left-behind hustle. Key Ideas to Improve your Customer Experience A company can do a few things to create this positive engagement tool for customer service. It all starts with understanding your customers, which involves customer segmentation, dividing them into similar groups, and appealing to what they have in common and value collectively. From there, you must hire people to transform this information into algorithms that can predict what the customer wants to do based upon indicators provided by said customer. Here are a few critical moments in the discussion: 06:17 Vasili introduces the concept of proactive customer service, its definition, and its benefits. 10:33 We discuss the process of formulating a proactive customer experience and how to ensure its success. 15:45 We discuss how proactivity contributes to the future of customer experience. 25:22 Vasili explains how proactive customer experiences help to predict customer behavior. 27:50 Vasili details his frequently asked questions and the answers he uses to help organizations take advantage of this engagement tool to boost the customer service experiences.

This week on the GCP Podcast, Carter Morgan and Max Saltonstall are joined by Amit Kumar and Vasili Triant. Our guests are here to talk about new features in Contact Center AI. Amit starts the show helping us understand what Contact Center as a Service is and what makes this unified platform so useful for enterprise companies. The scalability helps keep costs down and overall satisfaction up while leveraging advances in cloud. UJET and Google Cloud have worked together to bring this AI advancement, and our guests describe the partnership and evolution CCAI. CCAI has streamlined the Contact Center as a Service space, helping businesses work efficiently and while putting an emphasis on positive experiences for the end customer. CCAI users can use the platform straight out of the box or customize it to build specific experiences with tools like Dialogflow. Amit further describes the tools available like Interactive Voice Response and for which circumstances each tool would be most useful. The journey to CCAI can be easily managed by a team who knows the business well. We learn more about the onboarding experience and the skills required to transition. Vasili talks about the past and future of Contact Center and how customer information is used not just for sales purposes but for bettering the customer service experience. Our guests share success stories from companies like FitBit and how CCAI is used to handle customer interactions through the app. Things like the call back feature save customers the time and frustration of waiting on hold and save businesses money. Amit Kumar Amit is responsible for bringing GCP's native CCaaS offering to market and helps enterprise customers modernize their contact centers. Previously, Amit worked as a Cloud AI Incubator lead where he helped customers in adopting Google's conversational AI technology.

What Customers Expect from CX Practitioners Shep Hyken interviews Baker Johnson, Chief Marketing Officer at UJET. They discuss how CX practitioners can put what they know about communication from their personal relationships into their customer relationships. Top Takeaways: Here is something brands and even CX practitioners often forget - customers just want to get things done. They are not thinking in terms of channels. They are not worried about what department, whether it be sales, marketing, or customer support, resolves their issues. They really only care about problems solved. What do customers expect from CX practitioners? It's not about how many channels of communication are available. Compared to sales and marketing, the advice given to CX practitioners is always lagging. They are told to constantly add channels to meet customers where they are. But, customers don't think in terms of channels. They just want to connect with the brand – how they want and when they want. It's not about departments within the organization either. Sales, marketing, and customer support departments are often fighting on who is the most influential to customer experience to gain more internal power. We have to move away from this and put customers first. At the end of the day, we are all customers. The way that we interact in our lives is how consumers expect to interact with brands. It is also what your employees expect from you. We have to bring what we know about relationships and communication from our personal lives to our work lives and apply it to how we interact with our customers. Quote: "Take off your work hat, put on your real-life hat and you'll have all the answers to what needs to be improved in customer experience."

„Upřímně řečeno jsem čekal, že se to stane. Mám pro to pochopení v určitých částech světa, ale v našich podmínkách to vnímám jako naprostou absurditu,” říká Ondřej Sokol. Činoherní klub musel stáhnout hru Ujetá ruka, kterou Sokol režíroval a ve které ztvárnil postavu Tobyho. Tu podle nových podmínek autora musí hrát černoch. „Kolik je tu herců černé pleti, kteří by byli schopni hrát velké role?

Today we meet with Chief Operating Officer at UJET, Vasili Triant, and we talk about how companies have been adapting to the age of the mobile phone. Vasili tells us that people have been saying voice is going to die out since the late 90's, but the reality is that all channels have been on the rise, meaning even demand for voice interactions is increasing. Vasili tells us about how they interact with their consumers and what UJET is doing to collect their data and take care of them based on their needs. Does voice have a place in today's market? 1:42The big challenges that contact centers are facing now 3:37Why some companies haven't been able to change 7:20How UJET is solving current problems 18:24“The biggest thing frankly is, where are consumers today? They're on their smartphones, they're on web, and meet them where they're at. So we essentially embed the connectivity between a consumer brand and their app, and we don't make the consumer go outside of it.” 19:30https://www.linkedin.com/in/vasilitriant/
Evan and Dave chat with Anand Janefalkar, CEO and Founder of UJET. UJET is a new kind of CCaaS company, cloud native, designed and built for modern communications. That means it natively integrates with other cloud apps, without duplicating data, and is built for modern, multi-modal communications. Anand is passionate about creating better business results through more natural communications. He started UJET to modernize the Contact Center by addressing long-standing design flaws and conventional thinking that have failed to evolve in parallel with changing human interaction landscape.He has experience with personal mobility and consumer communications. We ask him about his time at both Motorola and Jawbone, but then we get into the meet of why UJET is different in how it approaches customer engagement. Anand holds a Bachelor of Engineering in Electronics from Mumbai University and a Master of Science in Telecommunications from Southern Methodist University.
It's a common situation for customers: spending time on a company's app or website and then having to call customer service for help. Even after spending time searching online, the customer still has to wait on hold, log in or prove their identity and then re-explain the situation and wait to get connected to the right person. In recent years, many aspects of customer experience have been modernized and streamlined, such as the growth of chatbots and AI. However, even with these advancements, most customer interactions have stayed stagnant and without context. But that won't be able to continue for long. Modern customers realize the potential of their data and are increasingly becoming frustrated with companies that don't offer intuitive and connected experiences. Especially in industries like banking, healthcare and hospitality, customers can easily take their business elsewhere if they have a bad experience. According to Vasili Triant, COO of UJET, customers may start with a brand because of the product or price, but they stay because of the experience. He says the future of modern customer interactions involves channel blending or meeting customers where they are within a brand's app. Instead of pushing customers out of the app or website when they need to contact the brand, this modern approach stays within the app to seamlessly pass information to human agents. How a customer uses an app or how they search online provides rich data about their preferences, but brands are throwing that information away when they essentially make customers start over with each interaction. This approach not only saves the customer time by not requiring them to re-authenticate and then re-explain their situation, but it also makes it easier for brands to personalize the experience. If a customer is looking at a website in English, they shouldn't have to choose a language on the phone, just like a customer who has already authenticated in the app shouldn't have to do it again on the phone. According to Triant, leveraging in-app communication adds a vital aspect that is often missing from customer interactions: context. When a customer calls a company, the agent typically doesn't have much information about why they could be calling. But by connecting with customers through channels they already use and leveraging that data, agents automatically have context around the interaction and can more easily provide the right solution. Very few brands contextualize their customer experience, but as personalization and the need for convenience grows, customers will come to expect it. In the smartphone era, customers do nearly everything on their phones. They want and expect a seamless transition from self-service to being able to contact a brand. The companies that can take the step towards modernizing their experiences and offer context around the interaction will lead the way in personalization and customer loyalty. This approach to customer interactions is the future, and companies need to get on board to deliver strong, modern experiences. *Sponsored by UJET UJET is the world's first and only cloud contact center platform for smartphone era CX.

In 2016, when Jeff Nichols had been a senior member of Glassdoor’s FP&A team for 2 years, he and other members of the finance team were confronting the nagging truth that the firm’s path to going public wasn’t getting any shorter. The online job recruitment firm’s efforts to grow its profit margins had met only mild success, while its cash burn rate was inching upward. According to Nichols, Glassdoor’s path to going public was further complicated due to the unique characteristics of its business model. Points of comparison between Glassdoor and top recruitment rivals such as LinkedIn and Indeed offered few insights due to the firm’s unique approach, making Glassdoor’s story more challenging for management to tell. To help remove the firm’s storytelling obstacles and address its meager margin growth, Nichols says, the firm’s finance team began asking, “How do we get the business to perform over the long term in a way that would actually make for a compelling story?” To help answer this question, Nichols reports, Glassdoor first had to widen its lens and search for points of comparison with SaaS companies, ad tech firms, and other companies beyond the traditional recruitment realm in order to identify competitive attributes that aligned with those offered by Glassdoor. At the same time, this broader comparison helped to magnify certain weaknesses in Glassdoor’s model. “What we were lacking was retention. Most SaaS companies are focused on net dollar expansion or gross dollar expansion, and we just didn’t have it,” explains Nichols, who says that another challenge that quickly came into view involved small and medium-size businesses. “The way in which we went about SMB sales was just not efficient—it was very labor- and cost-intensive,” comments Nichols, who—having played a central role in helping to broaden the company’s strategic view—was soon helping to put a restructuring in motion. Says Nichols: “We reprioritized. We made some new investments that we had not made before, but at the same time we curtailed some costs and refocused what we were actually doing.” Ultimately, Glassdoor’s path led not to an IPO but to a sale, when in 2018 Recruit Holdings, a large Japanese human resources company, paid $1.2 billion for the company. Having been valued by investors only 2 years previously at around $860 million, Glassdoor had a story that had no doubt become more compelling. Looking back, Nichols’ cites his part in helping the company to widen its lens: “All of this was a directional change for the company. I feel that I brought something to the organization that it really needed, which was an honest, objective look at ‘here’s what’s going on in the business, and here’s how it appears to its peers.’” –Jack Sweeney

Autonomous cars, trucks and helicopters, drones and virtual reality technology are at the center of the current whirlwind of technology innovation. But personal light electric vehicles (PLEVs) are also increasingly abundant. They're compact, often foldable and easily transportable in boats, planes, automobiles and RVs. They're the scooters, simple bicycles and mopeds of yesteryear gone electric and grouped under the umbrella term “personal transporters.” And they're used as complementary transportation for travelers or stand-alone vehicles for leisure treks and short commutes. Electric bikes and other personal mobility transportation systems were prominent at the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. Image © Bruce Aldricch/2018 More than a dozen domestic and international PLEV companies, and at least two with agreements with Ford Motor Company, showcased their new machines at the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Here are three examples of new mobility options, simple to futuristic-looking: Headquartered in Fremont and manufactured in Ann Arbor, Mich., GenZe electric bikes (www.genze.com) include three ride modes, travel as much as 50 miles per charge and have a removable battery for portable recharging. The Ujet electric scooter from Luxembourge has advanced technology and folds up into a case similar ro the size of a carry-on suitcased.

The e-bikes have a maximum speed of 18 miles per hour and include a 345 watt-hour lithium-ion battery. A display shows riders their current speed and battery charge level. Prices range from $1,599 to $1,899 and the bikes weight 46 pounds. GenZe also has a lineup of electric scooters, starting at $2,999. Available since last June, GenZe recently collaborated with Motivate International, the operator of the Bay Area's regional bike share system, and Ford's GoBike program. A fleet of 250 GenZe bikes will be added in April to the current e-bike network in San Francisco. Riders can locate GenZe e-Bikes using the Ford GoBike application. Renting and returning the e-bikes from any location in San Francisco is available using Clipper smart card or mobile phone. Ojo Scooters offered a variety of retro-styes scooters.

The futuristic design includes spoke-free wheels, a stealth frame, elaborate technology an weighs 31 pounds all in an easy-to-use foldable system. Manufactured in Germany and headquartered Luxembourg, the Ujet is high-tech but easily transportable. The scooter includes a built-in HD dash camera, two USB ports as well as Bluetooth and GPS connectivity. The scooter can be paired with a smartphone using a telematics app, with wifi and 4G connectivity. The Ujet scooter can mount two separate batteries.
